In order to please Queen Kaikeyi (her wish), Lord rAma, along with his brother and wife, put on robes made of tree barks, and went to the forest. HE, the ONE who put on a beautiful jaTa, then crossed the gangA, having been worshipped by guha.

HE was then worshipped by sage bharadhwaja, the son of bruhaspati. HE then crossed the river yamuna, and reached the clean and peaceful place called chitrakUTa.

LORD rAma then got to know the news of the death of HIS father when his brother bharata came there along with HIS mother and others. HE consoled HIS brother and gave tarpaNa as HIS dharma towards the departed soul.

May such a LORD always protect us!

Notes: (self attempt)

By stating that it was LORD rAma who consoled bharata, even though he just got the news, rayaru shows how LORD is unattached and unaffected by anything in samsAra

The mention of ganga, yamuna, beautiful chitrakUta and meeting of sages like bharadhwaja is to highlight the point that LORD did not suffer in any which way during the stay in the forest
